Question 1028821: Please help me solve this problem:
Let f be a quadratic function. The slope of the tangent line to the graph of f at x = 1 is 3, and the slope of the tangent line can be drawn to the graph of f at x = 2 is 5. If the graph of f passes through the point (1,0), find the equation of f.

For a quadratic equation,

The slope of the tangent line is equal to the derivative,

So then, ,

1.
.
.
When ,

2.
Subtracting eq. 1 from eq. 2,



Then,



So then using the last point,
